Man Utd duo Luke Shaw and Rasmus Hojlund in furious altercation picked up by TV cameras

Luke Shaw was left furious with Rasmus Hojlund just before the break

Rasmus Hojlund was on the receiving end of a dressing-down from Luke Shaw just before half-time in Manchester United's dead rubber against West Ham. Neither team had anything to play for at Old Trafford, with pride the only thing on the table. United would have been hoping for a fast start but it was quite the opposite as the Hammers drew first blood. Tomas Soucek fired the ball home from close range, latching onto a pass from Mohamed Kudus to wrap up a fine team move. The hosts struggled to find their way back into the match with Hojlund missing a good chance to score minutes later. He lost his footing and blazed the ball over the crossbar, prompting a frustrated look from Ruben Amorim on the touchline. Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT

Just before the half-time whistle, Shaw lost control and screamed at the Dane after he failed to keep control of the ball, shouting: "Ras, come on!"

He is yet to prove why he should be considered good enough to lead the line for a club of United's stature. Hojlund's frustrating display against West Ham came just days after he vowed to prove himself 'on the biggest stage', admitting that he has been nowhere near good enough as of late. "I know what this football club is all about," he said. "It’s a lot of pressure, but that’s why I’m here. I want to show myself on the biggest stage.
